Dammit :( You're more techie than I am, so you'll get it. It's OK. I might take a break from the contest though, I have no idea what to send next month, and I keep doing mediocre-at-best-lately, I feel like I'm doing the name Numayania a disservice...

I think it's just the way the contest's evolving - I've gone from having strings of top 3's to low top tens but I don't plan to switch to indie-pop to try and reverse the trend unless I absolutely love a song of that genre enough to warrant doing so. I don't think you're doing at all badly - it's just that the people who used to vote for your (and most of my) entries have left the contest :lol: I wouldn't be too hasty though, it would leave a big hole if you weren't here in my opinion.

Drama queen :P

 

Come chat when you've have 4 DNQ's on the bounce :smoke:

It has been said tbh Phil :P Weren't you terrified of DNQing until you got your first one though? In a way it would be a turning point for me...

Yes I guess you're right, the problem is I like that kind of thing, I'm likely to vote for at least 3 songs that are indie or at least "trendy". Hurts did very well for me last time, and I'm tempted to send Better Than Love next contest if it isn't banned - frankly I'm amazed no-one picked it up once I dropped them last time :lol: I guess it would be a bit much to go out next time, but I either want to win or DNQ :lol:

DNQing once in a while isn't too bad. 4 in a row is horrid. Can't imagine what 7's like

Me neither :o :heehee:

I've (strangely) only been having 3 sets of 2 DNQs in a row. 4 in a row must be horrible :(

DNQ'ing wasn't such a big deal when me and Phil both achieved ours simultaneously in X so it wasn't really a worry, for me at least. It's not something I'm particularly bothered about - although my music tastes usually fit with BJSC, every now and then I'll like a song that I presume barely anyone else will like but risk sending it anyway just in case somebody does :w00t: Still not heard Better Than Love to be honest...if you are planning on sending them I'll delay hearing it too so it doesn't get too boring :heehee:

Oh well, fair enough. So there wasn't a stigma about it? Remember when you nearly sent that Finnish song? That was guaranteed DNQ, even though it was awesome :wub: Better Than Love is amazing (jumps into my top 20 on my new chart to be published later) but I have other ideas too, like Alizee and the one you were after :kink:

God, I've had so many 'were nearly' entries which I changed at the last minute. I'm pretty sure I swapped something for Robots In Love at the last minute too - good swap! I think I swapped that for Kongulo - I had to because I LOVED it :wub: Not heard Alizee's now song yet either. I figure someone will eventually send it to BJSC so I'm in no rush to hear it :heehee:

That's true, me too :lol: I'm kind of wishing I sent Sukkerchok not Dandy Andy now, though that did OK for me and I love(d) the song (they don't seem to be bothered about releasing it tho...) Kongulo was great so I don't blame you at all :wub: Yeah I'm pretty sure "someone" will... :lol:

Oh I loved My Lonely Valentine though, great discovery :wub: Sukkerchok's song was another one that wore off on me after a few days so I honestly don't think I'd have given it any points, maybe 1. But didn't I give Dandy Andy 10 points in the end? :o

 

Kongulo was my summer holiday anthem last year, along with Remedy and Celebration :wub:

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic song :wub: Yes I think you did, thanks :wub: It was a case of big points or nothing for that though, which doesn't really work, I need to find something that will just mop up points left right and centre, Hurts may just be the one. I think they'll be making a reappearance tonight either way :kink:

 

Awesome, you must have had a great summer :D

Kongulo was my biggest example of that, loads of 10's, a couple of 1's and bugger all else :lol: In what way will Hurts be making a reappearance tonight? :o

 

well yeah it was nice, looking forward to this summer more though to be honest, even if I will be busy!

Yeah, I think I gave it 10? It was definitely in my top 3. It'll be blink-and-you-miss-it, but look out for my votes :kink:

 

Cool, what plans have you got? I haven't got anything going on right now, probably apart from work...

I thought you gave it 1, down from 10 in the semi :lol: or am I remembering wrong? I'll keep my eyes peeled then, I can't remember who's presenting my votes this evening but they're not as long winded as usual, I doubt anyone ever reads all the blurb anyway :lol:

 

I've applied for a journalism course in Wrexham, North Wales (near Chester) - going up for an interview in 3 weeks time and if I get a place/pass the entry exam then I'll be moving in the summer I guess! :lol: I don't fancy a 10 hour return commute every day :heehee:

I don't think the reduction was THAT big, maybe it was 3? I remember that being a very strong final though. Hendinia got my 12, I gave nothing to Dollhouse, obviously I was second so I didn't give myself anything :lol: And I gave maybe 6 or 7 to Silly Boy... Kath has been conspicuous by her absence lately :kink: I suppose no-one reads the blurb, but I like writing it anyway, though I usually stick a summary at the bottom for the host :lol:

 

Oh wow, best of luck with that, will keep my fingers x'ed :D

I can't remember :lol: It was a great final though very very poppy, my 12 went to Espen - A Bar In Amsterdam is amazing :wub: Yeah Kath's left a hole in the contest - I liked the South African discoveries, nobody else sends anything from that country - probably because it's notoriously hard to find on Google/Youtube :drama:

 

Thanks, hope it all slots into place over the next few months!

I have just heard Caro while I was driving...it was on the biggest radio station in town...maybe a good sign :kink:

Is it good that i actually saw the banner just above this box on this very page about Eurovision with a Safura's picture? :kink: And this is not even a Eurovision forum!
